Here’s the latest I can summarize based on recent public reporting:
- Trading 212’s Cash ISA has historically offered top-tier rates that tracking BoE base rate changes. Recent coverage notes promos around high introductory rates (for example, offers around about 4.9–5.2% AER for new customers for an initial period) followed by a reversion to their standard rate after the promotional period.[1][3]
- In 2025, there were reports of rate adjustments tied to BoE rate moves, including reductions for some Cash ISA products as BoE changes were enacted, with notices sent to customers about rate changes effective on or after specific dates in 2025.[5][8]
- Trading 212’s help center describes the Cash ISA interest as a rate that tracks or is linked to the BoE base rate, which means the rate can move up or down in line with BoE decisions.[9]
- General market commentary from 2024–2025 highlighted a multi-point context: very high promotional rates earlier in some promos, and later adjustments as monetary conditions evolved; independent press and MoneySavingExpert discussions reflect ongoing rate fluctuations and occasional promos, then shifts when BoE decisions occur.[3][8]
Key considerations if you’re evaluating right now:
- Current rate can be promotional for new customers and may revert after the promotional period; confirm whether you’re eligible for any introductory bonus and what the ongoing rate will be after it ends.[7][1]
- The standard rate is variable and tied to BoE base rate; rate movements depend on BoE decisions and the platform’s policy changes.[9]
- Always check the latest official Trading 212 help article or your account notifications for the exact current rate and any promotional terms, since rates can change without much advance notice.[9]
Illustrative example:
- If you deposit £10,000 for 12 months during a promotional period at 4.9–5.2% AER, you could earn roughly £490–£520 in interest before tax, assuming the rate holds for that period and without considering transfers or account fees; after the promotion, the rate would typically revert to the ongoing base rate offered by the Cash ISA.[1][3]
Would you like me to pull the very latest official rate from Trading 212’s help center and summarize the current promo terms for new vs existing customers? I can also compare this to a couple of comparable Cash ISA promos if you’re weighing options. I’ll cite the exact current figures after checking them.
